My organization’s (Sebs Inspiration) theme for 2024 is “Manifesting Greatness.” We have intentionally dedicated ourselves to transcend beyond becoming great or fulfilling great things; We want to become an embodiment of Greatness. One of the essential elements needed to build and manifest greatness is Consistent Growth and not Consistent Routines.
I have given this phenomenon a deep thought and I have concluded that consistent routines inhibit success and greatness. Without taking you too far, cast your mind to the porridge seller at a junction of your neighbourhood, an ice water seller you know from the streets, a food vendor you purchase from, a pastor or preacher you know and talk to or even some work occupations a friend of yours is into and assess their growth. I also want you to do an imaginary survey of certain corporate institutions from where they started and their current status and ask yourself if these organizations have grown and evolved or they are stuck?
Life is full of routines; from personal life to institution and corporate life. However, you can be stuck in your personal daily routines or at the corporate and institutional level. As I reminisced on what could make the waakye seller’s daily routines hinder her growth, I realized that many people miss a key ingredient for growth and development. This ingredient is called a “MILESTONE.”
In order to truly track the significance and success of your consistent daily routines, you should set clear milestones for your life. We did these during our education but it seems many people do not apply it in real life. I will talk more about it in my next post.
